  5. When do we use this crazy thing?!?

  6. Whenever you would say the following in English: • …was doing… • …were doing… • …used to do…

  7. Also when you would say: • …did… • Except you can use the preterit for that too.

  8. A problem? • Yes. • The biggest problem for English-speaking Spanish learners? • Yes. • Use the imperfect to describe actions in the past that are still in the process of happening, except they are in the past, so technically they have ended. • Make sense? • Good.

  9. Ejemplos: • Cuando era niño, iba a la playa todos los veranos. • When I was a boy, I used to go to the beach every summer. Or • When I was a boy, I went to the beach every summer. Or • When I was a boy, I would go to the beach every summer. Or • When I used to be a boy, I used to go to the beach every summer. • Etc.

  10. Traducir: • When I was young, I used to believe in things too. • Yesterday while I was watching TV, I was also watching the skies. • It was a dark and stormy night…

  11. Traducir: • I used to dive a lot. • Yesterday at 2:00 we were releasing torpedoes. • The alligators lived in a river. • The men sailed and tied and blocked.
